How should lawmakers respond to abortion tourism?
Magistrates bear the sword to punish evil (Romans 13:4). They must criminalize abortion within their jurisdiction, bar facilitation of out-of-state killings, and prosecute pill trafficking. No sanctuary for bloodshed. Uphold equal protection for every child and resist laws that license murder by travel.
